“ Call to be different”

1 John 2:5-6 This is how we know we are in Him: Whoever claims to live in Him must walk as Jesus did.

It was 26^th June 2021, a night of Evangelistic week organized by KWS Delhi, as the speaker spoke about how we have to follow Christ and read different scriptures here and there, my younger brother and elder sister were with me attending the church on Zoom platform both of them raised a question: How we are going to live in this world exactly as the Bible says? It is not possible, for this… there needs to be a different world where only Christians should live according to the Bible, or else it is not possible.

Listening to their comments a thought came into my mind, if it is impossible for us to live in a different way, will not God create a different world, but He didn’t do so, why? The answer is if we are in different world what about the others…we became Christian and follow Jesus through someone who left his/her place and share the word of God to our fore-fathers and once we know the truth we are given the opportunity and responsibility to share it to others, who didn’t see this truth yet. To live out our faith in this world. Indeed following Christ is not an easy task and the road is narrow, it takes us to carry our cross every day. But, the good news is that it is not impossible, had this been impossible, God might have arranged other means. But He didn’t do it because He knew we could do it, not in our strength, but we can do it all through Him who gave us strength.

It is a challenging one to live in this world being different from others, live in this world but not of the world, we need to dare to be different even if we look like we are a fool in the eyes of this world because we are called by God to be different. So that people around will see Christ in you and He will be glorified. Dear, if we walk as Jesus did, this is how the world will see and know that we are in Him.

“Living a different life in this world is indeed possible, but only for those who dare and through HIM alone.” – Nei
